Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state.
The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via @tmsimmons) greensboro.com/news/local/go…

Virtually every university across North Carolina has lost its early voting site. This is a coordinated assault on youth & minority turnout.

This story is bigger than a book simply being cancelled.
Penguin Random House pulled Alana Hadid and Jenan Matari’s book about the Palestinian experience after clashing with them over how to tell Palestine’s story.
Apparently, even a children’s book about Palestine needs a disclaimer making sure everyone knows October 7 was illegal, while the Nakba, occupation and decades of dispossession are up for editorial debate.
Alana and Jenin eventually walked away rather than publish a version they couldn’t stand behind.
Imagine having to fight a publisher just to tell your own people’s story.
Thankfully, Palestinian-owned Interlink Books will publish it in 2027.

The White House claimed there were 16,000 non us citizens in Nevada that were on the voter rolls… after being forced to provide data to this they dropped their made up number to 185… Nevada investigated the 185 names and discovered that all of them were legal us citizens that were legally allowed to vote. Meaning the Trump White House was only off by 100%.

A group called Haines Point Runners asked permission to file an amicus brief in the case over Trump's plans to transform East Potomac Golf Course. Judge Reyes grants the motion and, on her own, says she'll give the group 15 minutes of argument if they let a "young" lawyer do it.

A new measure of time was created today called a Zachamucci. It’s a period of between 5 and 11 days. So, for example, after your vasectomy, your doctor may say, “apply ice for a day or two and avoid any strenuous activity for a Zachamucci.”

This woman was raped at Cornell. She explains that her rapist got an essay - just like Jane Doe's case.
A CNN investigation found that "half of the 16 Cornell University students found responsible for sexual assault over a recent 4 year period avoided suspension or expulsion. Instead, they were punished with written reprimands, disciplinary probations, and extra study programs."

After the CIA tortured all the Guantanamo 9/11 "High Value Detainees" for years, & after the FBI tried to use 'Clean Teams' to get uncoerced statements, the military court judges have now thrown out ALL the confessions & the military is 0-for-5 nytimes.com/2026/10/07/us/po…

Here is the list of Trump’s ballroom donors.
50% of this list has received a government contract since making a donation.
65% of this list has benefited directly from executive orders made by Trump.

Tragic but super important tweet

Indigenous Peoples Day is today and it’s important to remember Native Americans are not merely historical people. We are still here and the oldest injustice in US history—the dispossession of land from hundreds of Indigenous nations mainly by fraudulent treaties—is still ongoing!

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz lost because the Harris campaign kept supporting Israel. Polling clearly showed this. Any other take is simply cope.
